EdCC featured in study on combating student loan defaults
Edmonds Community College is highlighted for its strategies to combat student loan defaults in a national study released last month. The study focuses on nine community colleges representing different geographic locations, student-body sizes and academic offerings.
According to the study, key findings show the default rate for people who obtain a degree was 9 percent, but it was 27 percent for people who don’t. To download and read the report, go to either www.acct.org or www.ticas.org.
